Managing BHOLD workflows in the FIM Portal
Applies To: Forefront Identity Manager
Forefront Identity Manager 2012 R2 SP1 (FIM) workflows route requests to approve a proposed-role for a user to the approvers specified for the role. You can modify the BHOLD FIM Integration workflows to change how that routing takes place, or you can add custom workflows that you design yourself. For information about creating and managing FIM workflows, see FIM 2010 Technical Overview.
When BHOLD FIM Integration is installed, it creates three FIM workflows that control the approval process:
_BHOLD ROLE Management – Line Management Approval
_BHOLD ROLE Management – Role Management Approval
_BHOLD ROLE Management – Security Office Approval
You can modify these workflows to change the amount of time that can elapse before the request expires or is escalated, and you can modify them to specify the number of approvers of each type that must approve a request for the approval to be effective. These procedures require you to be logged on as a FIM administrator.
To change the expiration time for a workflow
In the FIM Portal, in the left pane, click Workflows.
On the Workflows page, click the workflow that you want to modify.
In the BHOLD ROLE Management– *<type>*Approval dialog box, click the Activities tab, expand Ask approval from, and then click Edit.
In Duration, type the number of days the workflow activity will remain valid, and then click Save.
Note
After the specified number of days without action, if the approval type is line or role manager, and if an escalator specified, the request will be escalated to the designated escalation approver. Otherwise, the request will be denied.
In the BHOLD ROLE Management– *<type>*Approval dialog box, click OK, and then click Submit.
To change the required number of approvers for a workflow
